Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to find the effect of different sources and levels of sulphur on yield and quality of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) under temperate conditions of Kashmir. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three sources of sulphur, viz. elemental sulphur, gypsum and single superphosphate (SSP) and replicated thrice. The plots were given uniform dose of NPK (100:120:60 kg/ha). Gypsum recorded highest plant height, days to maturity, yield attributes and yield as compared to elemental sulphur and SSP; whereas, among the different levels of sulphur, 45 kg S/ha recorded highest value of plant height, days to maturity and yield attributes and yield. Among the quality parameters, ascorbic acid, protein content in curd was significantly higher with application of Gypsum and 45 kg S ha-1, whereas, free nitrate (NO-3) content was significantly lower in SSP (a desirable quality).
